A letter to God
Dear God,
I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday,
someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I
had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had
invited two of my friends over for dinner.
Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no
family to turn to, and you are my only hope.
Can you please help me?
Sincerely,
Edna
The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other
workers.
Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars.
By the time he made the rounds,he had collected $96,
which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.
The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of
Edna, and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.
Christmas came and went.
Another letter came from the old lady to God.
The workers gathered around while the letter was opened and read.
Dear God,
How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?
Because of your gift of love,
I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends.
We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.
By the way, there was $4 missing.
I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the post office.
Sincerely,
Edna
